All the hardware drivers are loaded and running. And i can install all the configuraions supplied by SuSE, but they are either to big or to small. I only want the smallest possible configuration. In the "Techical guide for SuSE Linux 7.0" on page 37 fig. 2.10 should i tbe possible to select "SuSE Office Server" but it's not present in the real world. Do somebody have that config. It seems to be what i'm looking for. Can somebody tell me wich packages to include when i only want that kind of server. What ever i install i can't get SWAT to run (http://127.0.0.1:901) either on the server it self with KDE and Netscape or at a client with IE5.5/IE 5.0 (http://192.168.0.252:901) and telnet from a client pc dosn't work either. I can ping the server (192.168.0.252) and the server can ping the clients) please, please, please. can somebody help me? Thanks Lars

I read some keyboard locking problem due to PCMCIA card manager and I am using xircom PCMCIA credit card ethernet with 3.1.16 PCMCIA card manager.

Very Frustrated with Apache

From: "Stuart Powell" <stuart(a)yorkshirepudding.com> Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 22:37:11 -0600 Message-ID: <HAEAICFGOEPNHBCFMHKPMEKICKAA.stuart(a)yorkshirepudding.com> Subject: Very Frustrated with Apache Hello, everyone. I went out and bought myself a copy of SuSE 7 Professional as soon as it hit the shops. I have since installed it on a number of different machines. But Apache is really starting to wind me up. So far, it is a 50/50 split between Apache working after the install process finishes or not. Some of the machines work beautifully, others, I have to su to even start the httpd service before I get the default web page. I just wish I could find some kind of pattern. I have tried editing the httpd.conf file to change the -FollowSymLinks to +FollowSymLinks. PHP doesn't work, the SuSE help system doesn't work, the HOWTOs won't come up, the list goes on. But on those that work, they work great. The variety of hardware is considerable, from a lowly P133 laptop to a dual processor box with oodles of RAM. Does anyone out there have any ideas or clues as to how I can predict if an install will work properly or not ? Also, any ideas how to fix Apache on the failed installs ? I suppose I could try re-installing the RPMs, but that seems kind of like a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. If no-one has any ideas, I am actually considering using my 90day installation support from SuSE, since this definitely comes under installation problems. Thanks, Stuart.

Netscape 6: really slow

Message-ID: <5F79E0406369D411986600508BDE784E13433A(a)lisa.people-com.com> From: Martin Mielke <martinm(a)people-com.com> Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 10:30:32 +0100 Subject: Netscape 6: really slow Dear all, this weekend I installed Netscape 6 on my SuSE 6.4 and noticed that: a) the mail folder files are no longer located under $HOME/nsmail. They are somewhere on $HOME/.mozilla/bla-bla-bla instead b) although I started only *one* NS process, a 'top' shows more than 2 'mozilla-bin' processes taking the same CPU time and resources c) all NS Java applications launched (still offline) are far too S...L...O...W. I have an AMD K6-II @ 400 MHz and other Java apps run smoothly d) IMHO, the new look really sucks! It's too much Windoze-oriented. I changed to the classic (neutral) theme... Does anyone know what's involved on the speed issue? how can I 'accelerate' the NS 6 ?? Otherwise, I'll just delete it to have some free space :-) Thanks, Martin
